New male character Rig has been shown in a Famitsu magazine (he's the guy fighting Christie). There isn't much information available at the moment, but apparently he's the first Tae Kwon Do fighter in the series and he's also from Canada. He'll also be voiced by Tochi Hiroki in Japanese.

A video has just come out showing how Rig fights. Also, a new stage is introduced and Bass Armstrong (not surprising since Tina's here) is in the game. Plus, there's a nice shot of Christie's bare legs at the beginning.

Seems they just threw in a tawkwando character here with nothing to do with the main story. Most guys in DOA are like that.... =/

Ryu and Ein are hogging all the spotlight.

*Tae Kwon Do. :P

Well usually brand new characters don't get much spotlight, methinks. Introduction is meant to well... Get players used to him. It's sort of like an OC in a fanfiction; most people don't want to hear about your new character. They want to read about the canon characters that were already there.

Technically, Tina doesn't have much to do with the main story either according to Dead or Alive Dimensions's story mode even though she's been in the series since the original arcade game. This is probably because her goals aren't connected with the other characters. Her friend Lisa actually has more importance even though she's introduced in Dead or Alive Xtreme, which is kind of like a filler game.

In any case, the series' story seems to favor the ninjas and Helena, but especially the former.

Agh..on cell when posted that typo XD

His moves are like Baek x Hworang. Pretty cool, but I like his worker look more than his hoddie look.

Also as I know in DOA1 Tina went to the finals and beat his dad, but left before fighting Kasumi because she wanted to be an actress and really didn't participate in the other DOA tournaments because of her career and only seen a few DOA characters like Bass, Zack, Lisa and Leifang.

I think for a lot of people, being a ninja gives a character automatic cool points. I can't think of a series (not counting series where the majority of the cast are ninjas) where the ninja character was the least popular.

He hasn't been confirmed yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jann Lee returns; like Virtua Fighter, the cast of a previous Dead or Alive game returns for the next fighting game. Though the final bosses of Dead or Alive don't come back unless you count Dead or Alive Dimensions.
